Introduction
Use of the TP 070
The TP 070 has been conceived as a low end unit for the SIMATIC S7-200. It is a
touch panel in the SIMATIC HMI product range based on the Microsoft Windows
CE operating system.
The TP 070 can be used to perform all basic functions. It is equipped with one
interface for use with MPI. The unit memory is designed for smaller configurations.
The objects used for a configuration can be inputs, outputs, buttons, bar graphs
and graphics.
Area of use of the TP 070
The TP 070 has been conceived for machine operation and monitoring. It provides
a realistic representation of the machine or system to be monitored. Its area of use
includes implementation in machine and apparatus construction as well as in the
packing and electronics industry.
The high degree of protection (IP65 on the front side) and non-implementation of
moving storage media, such as hard disks and floppy disks, ensure the TP 070 is
also suitable for use in rough industrial environments and directly on site on the
respective machine.
The TP 070 can be installed in switching cabinets and operating consoles.
Due to the fact that the TP 070 is equipped with high performance basic hardware
and has a minimum installation depth means that it fulfills all the requirements for
operation in the vicinity of the machine.
